Jones Frontier 2.0 vs Nidecker Play

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Jones Frontier 2.0 leans more freeride. The Jones Frontier 2.0 uses a directional shape while the Nidecker Play is directional twin. The Jones Frontier 2.0 has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Nidecker Play uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Nidecker Play is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
